Q:What is the difference between woven carpets and hand made carpets?

Look at the color of the carpet. Hand - made carpets are more colorful in color than woven carpets. Woven carpets do not have more than 8 colors, but more than a dozen colors can be found on hand carpets. The same blue will see different colors of blue on the handmade carpet.

Q:I am looking at the prices of rugs and I just want to know what they are used for and when you would use them etc. I am from the UK by the way.:) thanks in advance! x

It is an extra layer to put under an outer rug for example it replaces a stable blanket that goes under a jute or stable rug. It gives extra warmth and rather like when we wear a blouse or a polo neck under a woolen jumper! It can also prevent friction which could cause sores or bald patches especially on the shoulders. I wish we had them in my day - a 5 foot girl trying to put two or three heavy blankets on a 17-18hh horse and THEN a rug is very hard work!

Q:What kind of good pressing strip carpet and marble interface

If you install the bar, it is generally metal, not aluminum alloy is copper, but obviously this approach is not good. The carpet is usually based on the thickness of the marble and the carpeting in the location of the ground height difference, for example, if the thickness of the carpet carpet is 15mm, the location of the ground, the marble surface height difference, generally about 10mm, looks carpet is taller than marble, but when the foot feeling is basically "flat" - the beauty of this approach does not require the use of layering. Of course, some carpets don't have that long hair, so it's up to them to determine the difference between them.

Q:anywhere to find cheaper rugs?

Q:i sold a rug in craiglist for $500 now shes saying the rug smell what should i do??

Q:I can't seem to find a decorative rug within my budget? What makes them so expensive?

HI, Expensive is a relative term. You need to get more objective here. Being a rug manufacturer in Agra , India ; I feel that my customers (who import the rugs) charge a King;s ransom when they sell a rug made by me to the retailer, but what the retailer charges from the consumer is even more than a Kings ransom. But still, a 100 year old rug going for USD 30,000 will appear cheap to me while a newly made rug of the same size and design going for USD 3000 will appear expensive to me. Yours question asks why are rugs so expensive, the reason behind it is the time, patience , skill and labour that goes behind making each and every one of these timeless beauties. An oriental rug of size 8' x 10' takes upto 4-5 months and 5 weavers to make. Thats a lot of time. A 8x10 rug may have anything between 640K Knots to 1.7 million knots in it depending on its quality. Each knot is tied by hand. IF you take out the price per knot it will be much less than a cent. Each knot takes an average of 7 seconds to tie. Now think, is the price you pay too much when compared to the labour behind the rugs? If you ever happen to come to Agra, call upon me and I will take you to the looms where the rugs are woven. Then you will truly come to appreciate the value of these rugs. Also, in case you want a rug , but the price seems to much, try buying directly from a rug making country like India, Pakistan, Iran, Turkey. This way you will be able to cut out the importers retailers margin. You can also order a custom rug based on your size/color/design at no extra cost.

Q:I have a budget of about $2300 for the carpet, pad, and labor. I have inquired at two different places and have been given very different estimates of the cost of carpet per square foot that I can afford. These are the dimensions of the three rooms:Living Room: 12X23Dining Room: 12X12Hallway: 4X12How much, with approximate cost of pad and installation fees, do you think I can afford?

You are going to need roughly 46 square yards of carpet to do these 3 -- more if the rooms are not precisely square/rectangular or there are any cut outs or niches, etc. Look at the price per square yard for good quality, high durability carpet -- you do not want to have to do this again within the next 5 or 10 years. Don't just get an estimate - pick out the exact carpet you want and get an estimate from 3 companies using the same carpet, or the lower estimate will be cheap carpet, cheap padding, and will look like **** in a year or two. If the carpet costs less than $20-30 sq yd these days, it's probably garbage.

Q:Ive moved into a new place .... the Carpets are vile ! can anyone recommend a good carpet shampoo for the use in an industrial rented machine. Also if you guys have any tips on carpet shampooing that would be great also !!!thanks !!!

I use Simple Green in my carpet shampoo machines. Simple Green is a highly concentrated all purpose cleaner you can buy in hardware, automotive, grocery and discount stores. It's also non-toxic and biodegradable and has a nice clean, light scent. I also mix a spray bottle with 50/50 Simple Green to water for treating really soiled areas before using the machine. Allow this stuff to work for a good 15 minutes before running the machine over. I only put enough Simple Green in the cleaning solution tank to barely change the color of the water; it is that concentrated! And using more will mean you have to rinse more! And you should make a final pass over the carpet with nothing more than clean water regardless of what product you use. If you get into a foaming issue in the recovery tank (the tank that collects the dirty water) just put a couple tablespoons of white vinegar in the empty tank. The vinegar will knock down the foam. You don't know what was used to clean the carpets with before and the residue from the previous cleaner sometimes foams. Fabric softener works too but the white vinegar is cheaper! And for stubborn spots that the Simple Green might not take out (it will take out most of them!) try a laundry stain remover product. My son's tan carpet was a nightmare and the Simple Green did take 90% of the stains and spots out. The ones that were left I used Spray and Wash on. I sprayed the stuff on, left it work a bit and gave the spot a good scrub with a scrub brush then ran the shampoo machine over it. Always, always do a really serious vacuuming job before shampooing the carpets. The more dry dirt you get out the less you will have to shampoo out. Use a new sweeper bag if your sweeper takes bags. Then after the carpet is thoroughly dry, do another thorough sweeping to remove any dried dirt that the shampoo machine pulled up to the surface.

Q:I'm wanting to redo the interior of my car black but they didn't make any stock with black so I can't just buy a carpet mold. Does anyone know where I could get one made? Or even if there's a way I could make one...

Yes, you can make car carpeting. Just go to any carpet store and buy any carpet you want. You could even carpet your car with shag, if that's what you like (although it will be a lot harder to keep clean than indoor-outdoor carpeting). Use your existing carpet as a template. When you remove the carpet, try to keep it as whole as possible and then just lay it on top of the new carpet for a template. You might have to use books or some other weight to flatten the template, because it's bound to be bumpy after being formed to your car for so long. Then just tape the new carpet in place using carpet tape -- or use glue that's made to adhere to metal. Your car can have any kind of carpet you like. Personally, I would stick with carpets that are easy to keep clean (short-fibered carpets made of nylon), but honestly this is your choice.
